As the 2012 College World Series was about to open, a guy in UCLA Bruins blue shouted to a Stony Brook relief pitcher trotting off the field after batting practice.
Josh Mason looked into the stands near the Seawolves' dugout. He smiled when he recognized the man — with close-cropped hair that's starting to gray, and an artificial leg — as a former youth team coach from California, Bill Keep.
"I got your seeds!" Keep yelled.
He tossed a bag of cracked pepper-flavored Spitz sunflower seeds. It landed in Mason's hands right in front of his breadbasket.
That toss Friday was one of three sunflower seed deliveries from Keep to a College World Series player he had helped coach. He also pitched Spitz to Trevor Brown, UCLA's multitalented first baseman, and to Alex Mejia Jr., the star shortstop of the Arizona Wildcats.
Three years ago, the three ballplayers cracked seeds in the dugout while competing in summer ball for the same Southern California youth team, the Playa Vista Orioles. Keep was an assistant coach. The Orioles came within one game of making it to the Connie Mack World Series in Texas.
Today, Brown, Mejia and Mason suit up for three different teams in the College World Series. The Playa Vista Orioles' former pitching coach will cheer them on from the stands in one of those harmonious convergences that happen at the end of the road to Omaha.
"Chances of that are very little," Mejia said Saturday. "It's great to see it. ... It tells you how much talent and skill Southern California has."
Keep observed, "I guess you can see that (Playa Vista) team did so well. It's easy to coach talent."
As cool as it is to see his former players on college baseball's biggest stage, it's not their presence that brought Keep. He traveled to Omaha from Thousand Oaks, Calif., to watch the College World Series with his 10-year-old son, Connor. They first attended a CWS in 2010. It became their Father's Day tradition.
They're in the UCLA contingent with Bill's buddy Steve Heineman, whose son Tyler plays for the Bruins.
Brown, Mejia and Mason played together in 2009.
"Connie Mack ball is a little laid-back," Mejia said. "Our high school careers had just ended, and it was summer. Even at that level, though, we had a bunch of competitive guys."
He and Brown recalled Keep as a good complement to head coach Tim Oliveros.
"He was just a really good coach, a good guy to play for," Brown said of Keep. "He was someone that you could talk the game with, and he was very energetic in the dugout."
The three players from the Playa Vista Orioles haven't done much catching up with each other. That's probably for the future.
"Our time here now is a little more business rather than pleasure," said Mejia, the Pac 12 Conference Player of the Year.
Keep gave the book on the players in an interview at TD Ameritrade Park before Friday's first game of the series, UCLA vs. Stony Brook.
Keep said Brown was "the consummate professional," taking the same approach to practice and games while playing catcher, third, first or outfield.

"He was very serious, had that professional attitude, mentality even as a high school kid," Keep said.
Mason was "a jokester, a lot of fun to be around," the kind of ballplayer who'd put his batting helmet on backward, but became all serious when he stepped between the stripes, Keep said.
"A smile on his face. Glad to be at the ballpark. Super strong arm, fast as can be. He led off for us, and could hit the ball out of the ballpark."
Mejia was the team leader.
"He was our shortstop, and the attitude of our team went through him," Keep said. "He had just won the L.A. city title at El Camino High School. He was signed, sealed and delivered to play at Arizona."
When Mejia was loose, the Orioles were on a roll. When things were tight, Mejia knew the right thing to say.
"Constantly positive guy," Keep said.
Mejia said something similar about Keep's approach to living without one of his legs.
"It doesn't seem to hold him back," Mejia said.
Keep, who had played college baseball and then became a high school coach, lost most of his left leg in an accident when he was hit by a car in 2001. It happened outside a Department of Motor Vehicles office in Culver City, Calif., Keep said.
"My brother was borrowing my car," he said. "Nice day, Aug. 11, I was just sitting outside."
A car came accelerating toward Keep. He tried to jump over the front of it, but didn't make it.
"I didn't realize how much I was bleeding," he said. "A nice gentleman ran over and tied a belt around my leg like a tourniquet to slow down the bleeding. I'm a very fortunate guy."
He lost all but the top 10 inches of his leg. Eleven surgeries and five prostheses later, Keep's hiked around TD Ameritrade Park and downtown Omaha with sunflower seeds.
Keep made the sunflower seeds a dugout tradition, supplying different flavors. Brown's not a big seeds guy. Mason took to cracked pepper. Mejia prefers chili lime. Keep and Connor took him a bag at the Arizona team's hotel before the series, and spent about a half-hour catching up.
Mejia said he was grateful for the visit, the seeds and that Keep remembers about the chili lime.
"It shows that he keeps us in mind," Mejia said.
Keep, though only 44, recently retired from his baseball coaching career after 20 years with high school teams. He wanted to focus on coaching his son, Connor, and spending more time with family.
Like a lot of moms and dads and boys and girls who love baseball or just each other, Bill and Connor Keep are having quality family time at TD Ameritrade.
"The feeling of being able to sit at a field and talk to him about the plays, about why things are done, and explain baseball to him, it's just one of the best feelings you can have," Keep said.

As the city comptroller weighed in on the Central Park Five case on Friday, other legal issues were stirring for John Liu, as NY1 learned that the comptroller could be called to testify in the upcoming fraud case of a campaign fundraiser. NY1's Courtney Gross filed the following report.
John Liu was in Central Park Friday, talking about the infamous Central Park Five case, urging a settlement for a 10-year-old civil rights lawsuit against the city.
"We are asking, I would say we are demanding, that the parties sit down and come to some settlement," Liu said.
At the same time, his campaign's legal issues were causing a stir.
Just hours after his press conference, NY1 learned that the comptroller could be called to testify in the fraud trial of a campaign fundraiser, Oliver Pan.
In court filings Friday, the comptroller and his top campaign aides, like Chung Seto, are listed as potential witnesses for the defense.
Both Pan and Jenny Hou, Liu's former campaign treasurer, face fraud charges for allegedly concocting a straw donor scheme to get over-the-limit campaign donations to the comptroller.
This comes as Liu considers a run for mayor this year.
"I am just looking forward to the trial's beginning," Liu said when asked about the trial Friday. "I think the more information that comes out, the better it is for everybody."
The trial starts in a month, which may complicate matters for the comptroller as he weighs a bid for City Hall.
"As I said before, I certainly would have preferred that the trial begin sooner," Liu said. "But it is what it is. Nonetheless, we are in a very exciting year, and I am looking forward to a lot of great things in 2013."
But in some political circles, 2013 may be a steep, uphill battle.
"Without a total exoneration on this shadow that's over him, as comptroller, he has this pending issue of either he knew what was going on or he should have known what was going on," said Scott Levenson, a Democratic consultant.
Liu's campaign attorney said that should the comptroller be called to testify, we could be sure he would testify truthfully.

Basic Pruning Tips
There are many different reasons to prune or remove selected parts of a plant. They could be to train or direct growth, control size and shape, improve health, increase landscape effect, improve growth for flowers and fruits, or for safety reasons.
Click on the tabs below for more information
When should you prune?
The best time to prune varies with each plant species. Plants that flower during the spring normally are pruned after they bloom. If you were to prune before bloom you would remove the flower buds. Summer blooming plants generally are pruned during the winter when they are dormant. Pruning should not be done in the late summer or fall because the re-growth makes them more susceptible to damage from the cold.
If the plants are not being grown for their flowers, the best time to prune may be in the winter dormant period. Removal of dead, diseased or damaged branches should be done as soon as possible, no matter what time of year. Pruning should be done year-round as needed.
What are the right tools for pruning?
Picking the right tool for the job will mean less work for you and ensures that the plant will heal more quickly. The following is a list of different types of tools and their uses:
Hand Pruners
Used for smaller jobs. Pruners are available with either bypass or anvil blades.
Longer handles, increasing your reach and leverage for those hard to cut branches. Loppers are for larger jobs.
Hedge Shears
Ideal for nearly all hedges and shrubs, except for larger woody branches
Pruning Saws
Helps remove stems you cannot cut with hand pruners or lopping shears
Pole Saws
A cross between pole pruners and pruning saws. They help to get at out-of-reach branches.
Pole Pruners
Helps get at high out-of-reach branches. They
are ideal where ladders would be inconvenient or would damage
the tree.
What is an anvil and/or bypass pruner?
Hand pruners and loppers are available with either bypass or anvil blades.
Bypass blades are sharpened, curved, and overlap, similar to scissor blades. Bypass blades are ideally used for new green growth.
Anvil blades have a straight upper blade that cuts against a broad, flat blade. Anvil blades are most efficient for dry, hard and old growth.
What is the proper cut?
Proper cuts require good, sharp pruning equipment. Make all cuts clean and smooth and do not leave stubs or remove bark. In most cases, you should cut back each stem to a bud or branch. Do not make the cut too close or too far away because most new growth will come from this area. Select the branch to be pruned and cut it back to ½" above an outer bud or to the collar area of a branch about half the size of the main branch that connects a 45° angle. Your cuts should be slanted upward at about 45° to prevent water from collecting in the cut.
When cutting branches more than 1 ½" in diameter, use a three-part cut. Make the first cut from below about 6-12 inches out of the trunk. Make the second cut from above, about 3-9 inches down the branch, until the branch falls away. Then cut the remaining limb at a 45° angle so the bark collar remains intact.
Do's and Don'ts of Pruning
Select the proper tool for each job.
Make one cut to remove large limbs.
Know the proper time to prune your plants.
Underestimate the importance of pruning for your plants' health and appearance.
Make your cuts at an angle to prevent water buildup.
Forget the proper place and angle to make your cuts when you prune.

I had this problem too -- I originally had CS3 installed, the installed CS4 and uninstalled CS3. Things started getting strange when I uninstalled CS3 -- lost my file associations, had this encoder problem and a bunch of other things. Finally I completely UN-installed both CS3 and CS4, deleted everything out of c:\program files\adobe (the uninstaller left lots of DLLs there), and reinstalled CS4 from scratch. Now everything works great, including the encoder.
Hi Mark,
if you launch AME and then from File>Add Premiere Pro sequence, you choose the Premiere Pro CS4 sequence and add it to AME batch and try to encode, does it work?
I am having the same problem (when I click ctrl-M to open AME for render, then click "start queue" AME goes into hang and eventually states "Not Responding"). I just tried the method above, and when I got the window for selecting the project file to import, the same thing happened (unrecoverable hang). I am running Win 7 64 bit (edit: just remembered this is a Vista machine, all current service packs and updates though), and my machine is 8 core with 12GB Ram and a dedicated vid card, so plenty of power and speed.
Edit: running Premiere CS4.2.1 (AME is CS4, but I can't tell you which one, but it is currently hanging... like most of the time)

By DAVID ROGERS
Just call her Nancy the Navigator.
"I have always loved longitude," Nancy Pelosi says before breaking into laughter. "I love latitude; it's in the stars. But longitude, it's about time. ... Time and clocks and all the rest of that have always been a fascination for me."
"The Geographer," Jan Vermeer's portrait of a Dutch mapmaker staring out a window with a sea chart before him, is a favorite of the House speaker. But mostly, Pelosi is drawn to the explorers of the Age of Discovery -- Balboa, Magellan, Vasco da Gama -- all struggling at sea without an accurate way to measure East-West progress. And she is fascinated by the historic melding of science and politics in the race to find a solution, the modern chronometer -- much as today's world seeks answers such as an electric car battery in the energy debate that now consumes both Pelosi and Congress.
"Whoever makes that discovery, rules," she says.
Eighteen months after taking power, the California Democrat will need to summon all her own navigation skills for the waters ahead.
She hit the national television circuit Monday with her new book, "Know Your Power: A Message to America's Daughters." Next month, she'll chair the convention in Denver that will nominate Barack Obama -- "the next president of the United States. I feel very certain of that," Pelosi says.
From Medicare to housing to the new GI Bill, her Democrats have driven the legislative train more than the White House has in recent months. And even when the Democratic Party gave ground to the White House on terrorism surveillance, Pelosi's credentials were such that Obama felt safer embracing the deal -- after she did so first publicly.
Yet with this success comes new danger -- like explorers lost at sea without longitude. Until now, Pelosi has been perceived as a counterweight to President Bush. But after the Democratic convention in Denver, and going into November, voters will take a closer measure of her performance -- and fairness -- since Democrats could very well be the new ruling party, controlling Congress and the White House in January.
At the same time, the wave of change her party has ridden could come crashing down. The pressures facing the nation -- troubled financial markets, falling housing prices and rising energy and food costs -- are genuinely historic. The next president will inherit a projected deficit of close to $500 billion, and Democrats admit privately that they were caught off guard by the spike in gasoline prices and the hardship it has imposed on middle-income and working-class voters.
With fewer than 20 legislative days before the new fiscal year begins Oct. 1, the entire appropriations process has largely ground to a halt because of the ham-handed fighting that followed Republican attempts to lift the moratorium on offshore oil and gas exploration. And after promising fairness and open debate, Pelosi has resorted to hard-nosed parliamentary devices that effectively bar any chance for Republicans to offer policy alternatives.
"I'm trying to save the planet; I'm trying to save the planet," she says impatiently when questioned. "I will not have this debate trivialized by their excuse for their failed policy."
"I respect the office that I hold," she says. "And when you win the election, you win the majority, and what is the power of the speaker? To set the agenda, the power of recognition, and I am not giving the gavel away to anyone."
Let's face it, Washington: This speaker is different. She's the first woman ever to hold the post and a very tough one at that, with a penchant for the mystical.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) promoted futurists such as Alvin Toffler; Pelosi sails the mythical voyages of Italian novelist Umberto Eco. The Colombian writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez is such a favorite that Pelosi's staffers joke about what she would do if the Nobel laureate were to call about the Colombian Trade Agreement bottled up in the House. Most recently she has turned to Pope Benedict XVI's "Jesus of Nazareth."
"It's like reading, but it's also almost a meditation," she says.
All this from a political leader who only minutes earlier took credit for pulling Bush's "chestnuts out of the fire" after House Republicans deserted the administration on a home mortgage bill. In the same time frame last week, Pelosi strapped her ally, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, over the barrel and then made nice with an old enemy, T. Boone Pickens, the Texas oilman and onetime ally of former Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Texas) who famously funded the Swift Boat attacks on Democratic presidential nominee John F. Kerry in 2004.
"We find our common ground on reducing our dependence on foreign oil, and he is a visionary for the future in terms of wind power," Pelosi says of Pickens.
"Listen," she laughs, "I go on the floor of the House every day and deal with people who don't want to give health care to poor little children in America. We're trying to get a job done. This is a giant kaleidoscope. One day you and I are on the same side. The next day it's the two of us against you."
On the subject of Paulson, she called the Treasury secretary after the housing vote but makes no apologies for insisting on adding community development funds that complicated his task in winning Republican votes. "I quite frankly found it hard to explain to anyone how only 45 Republicans voted for that bill," she says.
At the same time, Pelosi doesn't rule out some future progress on a Paulson priority, the Colombia trade deal -- whether her hero, Marquez, telephones or not.
"We're always talking back and forth," she says of the Treasury secretary, a serious environmentalist in his own right and a partner with the speaker on the economic stimulus bill earlier this year. "Colombia is not off the table," she insists. And although little time remains before the election, Pelosi says that, having raised the issue, Democrats have a responsibility to respond to the Colombian government's efforts to address complaints of labor abuses and the killing of union organizers.
Toward this end, her close ally and House Education and Labor Committee Chairman George Miller (D-Calif.) has been charged with making an assessment. "Some people are never going to be for it. Don't put me in that category. That's not where I am," she says of the trade pact. "These things cannot be ignored. If Colombia makes sufficient progress or makes progress -- they're never going to get it all accomplished in any time frame that would facilitate passing a bill."
Going into the fall, Pelosi is promoting a second economic stimulus bill, which could still be part of the bargaining over Colombia. She says this is not a "quid pro quo" but a situation where, more broadly, Bush must be more aggressive in addressing worker fears, not just about trade but also about immigration.
"I said to the president that I don't think we'll be able to pass a trade bill or an immigration bill unless we have an economic package, a jobs package," Pelosi says. "I don't think you can have a president who is saying there is no need for a stimulus package. It's not about trade-offs. It's about making it possible for us to do this by giving people confidence that they can have a job."
Understanding this speaker requires some understanding of the obvious: She is a woman who has risen to the top as an outsider in a male-dominated leadership power structure. Matched against Bush in her first year, she was often treated as a ditz by newspaper editors; The New York Times' Maureen Dowd famously wrote that Pelosi threw "like a girl" when she backed her friend Rep. John P. Murtha (D-Pa.) in his failed leadership bid after the 2006 elections.
"He did not win, but my members saw a leader who was loyal," Pelosi says. "Jack Murtha was two things: He was my associate in the Congress, and he was the leading voice against the war in Iraq. He lost that race. I didn't lose in supporting him. ... If they want to think, 'Oh, she didn't win that,' that's their problem. It's not mine."
But Pelosi's gutsiness can at times appear hard-edged, even arrogant. Her book, albeit too precious for some, could prove useful to her in breaking through.
"The goal," she says, "is to give an answer to people who all over the country say to me, 'How did you go from the kitchen to the Congress, being a housewife to the House speaker?' And it was just a short little story of that."
"It's also [that] I'm passionate about the fact that we need many more women in public policy positions, leadership roles and public office," Pelosi says. "And whether it's that or the academic world or corporate world, they really have to have confidence in the experience that they have, because I know that people will try to trivialize a lot of what women do."
The title "Know Your Power" comes from advice given to her by former Rep. Lindy Boggs (D-La.). But the most telling sections are about Pelosi's family, her upbringing as the only girl in a Baltimore political family dominated by her five older brothers and a congressman father who took her to her first national convention at 12. In the midst is her mother, also named Nancy, who never went to college herself, had "frequent clashes of will with Daddy" and, when the time came, interceded to allow her daughter to go away to Trinity College in Washington rather than attend a Baltimore school.
"I'm a little of both," she says of her parents. "I'm my own self. I'm sort of quiet, shy. ... I always have been."
Quiet and shy?

You can feel it! – Gotta find a time and go again!! how passionate the servers and chefs are. I really enjoy my food and experience there. I was recommended by my friend since he bought coupon for Geisha naked sushi event before, and he enjoyed it.
I did not go to their naked sushi party, but I did try their hibachi dinner. What a big surprise! I did not expect that the chef had a lot of tricks as they were cooking the food. He is a really funny guy, and also a professional chef. I love the filet mignon and the lobster pieces. I only tried its creamy horse roll, which inside had some cheese and spicy tuna, but I have already fell in love with their rolls. Every roll seems to have its own style and taste, so I must go back there and try all their rolls. yumyum
FAB! – Ive never been happier witch such a clean and delicious restaurant, my time here wasincredicle.
We started off with some cucumber and red rock rolls, with some cold sake, the sake was just as good as the sushit. we ordered to sushi that looks like burritos i forgot what there called but WOWWW these were to die for..we had some hot sake to wash our food down, and green tea mochi. this place is great i highly recommend!
BEST HABICHI IN THE VALLEY – this place is fantasticoo! The geisha steak and sushi has been around for a while now, there are 3 locations, but this one is on the south side, its not too hard to find, and its in a great plaza, super quiet, not alot going on. Inside is super clean, and you get greeted by almost everyone, The chefs are great, and you get what you pay for. They give you a good portion of food, and the sake is BOMB!
One of those hidden treasures the tourists will never find. – What I like best is the staff, especially Ben. I can't remember a friendlier chef. And skilled, too. He has been learning the art of sushi making from his father since he was five. Now at 20 years old he has shown the makings of a great master. But more importantly, he has shown a genuine desire to make friends and show his guests a good time.
The place itself is pretty nice as well. The decor is modern and still very new feeling, and the room is spacious. I doubt at full capacity anyone would feel crowded. There is a long sushi bar at one end, a regular bar at the other. The center is filled with tasteful tables and a island for guests to sit and enjoy what looked to be a Mongolian BBQ type meal. But I was interested in the sushi, and the 50% off lunch special, so over to see Ben I went.
The fish is very good, which is important. The rice is not my favorite in town but still decent, and I admit I am something of a snob when it comes to sushi rice. Interestingly, he makes a variety of different rolls I have not seen much around here, with wonderfully complex flavors and textures. I especially recommend the Geisha roll, but be warned that the super specialty rolls are not covered by the lunch special. Still it was the nigiri that impressed me most, artfully made, just the right size and ratio.
Speaking of price, I am amazed at how inexpensive everything was. Even without the lunch deal most rolls are about $4, a bargain for their size and flavor. The super rolls get on around $10, about what a lesser one would cost you on the strip.
All in all it was very satisfying and I will be going back, often. It's a little slow right now, but once people start to realize it's there... well I just hope Ben remembers me and can slip me a seat at the bar.
Great Shabu shabu place! – I've been introduced to Shabu shabu dinning by a friend at a dinner party and enjoyed it. Well, my mom wanted to go out for dinner last night with me and I was in the mood for something different. She had never had it before and it was right down the street from her house. We its friday night and we get there about 7:40. The place is dead, only two other dinners there. The decor is AMAZING. If you want a table you need to bring at least 4 people with you, otherwise you have to eat at the bar. Its asain style, A LOT of seats, fairly close together. Other reviews said service was poor, they must have gone when it was busy. Our service was exceptional, music was a light modern lounge style, a perfect fit really. The food was Fantasic! We ordered chicken and prime rib Shitkabyu?? Basically its Shabu shabu with a more flavorful broth. Highly recommend trying this place. The food is good and its totally different from anything else!
Great for ANYDAYor EVERYDAY – This place is Best place in Las Vegas for shabu-shabu or SUKIYAKI! My boyfriend n I go there at least 2-3 times a week...its so addicting, so healthy, and flavorful!!! it is such a fun experience! The MUSIC is great...the service is good a little shy i think (but they just open so i understand)...the place is sometimes empty im guessing beacuse a lot of people here in vegas dont know a lot about SHABU SHABU.....but when they open the sushi bar that will help!
Good value – Delicious tasting food...better prices than other shabu shabu I've had in Las Vegas...had to ask for help too many times instead of being offered help with the cooking, etc....horrible music (they played "hip hop" loudly which is a total disconnect for a Shabu Shabu restaurant...anyway...my teens liked that part even if I didn't.
Editorial Review – With a variety of different meats and vegetables to cook with, Japanese hot pot cooking offers a fun, delicious, and healthy experience.

Leading Ladies' Leg-Baring Oscars Style
The Oscars, in general, are the classiest of awards shows. The bar is raised, the hautest of the couture is borrowed, and the sparkliest diamonds are shown the light (with a guard or two in tow). But rarely is a risk taken. Whether at a pre- or post-Oscars party, or at the main event itself, the following ladies went out on a limb (pun intended) and bared a leg or two.

Yeah dude I totally feel that. You can't question a single aspect of anything dealing with Axl on most forums but on the flip side...if Slash makes any music its shit and he's a terrible guitarist, except for the stuff he did in GNR. I'm a GNR fan, including Axl but come on the guys less than perfect, he's mid level vocalist at best just in the studio. In a Live setting he is in Vince Neil territory.
Do you mean he's straining too much?
LOL at all the trolls that think they're freeing the fanboys of their prejudice by raging on the web about how realist they are and how they can see things for how they truly are.Hey boys, I'm going to sign up to a Jon Bon Jovi forum just to be a pain in the arse, my time of day is not worth using on productive activities, so that is where I'll spend it! <- Blase fan #1 before you jump the 'fanboy' gun.
Don't take criticism as bashing. It's integral to personal growth
I know you won't like this comment man, but he sounds pretty good to me on those audios. You're right about unreliable, unprofessional, lazy, blase etc. etc. but you gotta take the good while it's there you know that more than anyone! Seems to have finally gotten an edge to his voice again, something has lit a fire under his ass and he's starting to get personal with fans. So he isn't that asshole atop an ivory tower anymore.Good signs yeah?
im with you 100%and really hope for the best....at times, his voice has been killer...others not so much...i know it's great that they are playing these long shows but maybe it's not such a good idea...i do love that they are playing all of cd...(where was riad though?)...that is what they should be doing...play the new stuff..let the new band shine...mix in a few oldies but get away from playing the whole afd every night.....we fans want to follow the band into the future and the way to do that is to play the new stuff

For perfect ribs, all you need is salt, pepper, garlic, and sugar.
From 20-ingredient dry rubs to carefully guarded sauces, if there's one category of cooking that's shrouded in mystery and riddled with "secret" recipes more than any other, it's barbecue. That's not a bad thing, but it can make cooking ribs pretty intimidating if you weren't lucky enough to have a granddad whisper his secret rib seasoning in your ear. We're here to tell you that the only ingredients you need for perfectly moist, meaty ribs are salt, pepper, garlic powder, and brown sugar.
>>RELATED: Dunk your ribs in "Carolina Gold" Barbecue Sauce.
Now, what you do with these 4 ingredients matters -- don't just sprinkle them over the ribs willy-nilly. There should be twice as much salt as pepper, garlic, and sugar. The amount of salt keeps the ribs moist while cooking, and balances the heat from the pepper and the sweetness from the sugar. If you just want to make enough rub for the recipe below (it calls for 3 slabs of ribs), use the measurements listed.
However, you can scale it up to 1/2 cup salt and 1/4 cup each of pepper, garlic powder, and brown sugar so you have rub at the ready, and then just use 5 tablespoons of the rub when you're ready to cook the next set of 3 slabs.
Let your ribs sit with the rub on them for anywhere from 1 to 10 hours before you start grilling -- whatever amount of time your schedule allows. This is the key to getting those simple flavors deep inside the meat.
>>RELATED: A Bacon Cheddar Burger with a sweet surprise: grilled apple slices!
When you're ready to cook, fire up the grill to medium low and cook, flipping once, for about 45 minutes. What you'll get are ribs that are tender enough to sink your teeth into, but not so soft that the meat will fall off the bone before you can bring a rib to your mouth.
With each bite, you'll actually taste the pork. No more hiding that flavor under a mound of spices.
Serves 6 to 8
3 slabs of baby back ribs, silver skin removed
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1. Cut each rack of ribs in half to make them easier to handle, and lay them on a baking sheet or tray.
2. Mix dry ingredients in a small bowl and rub into the ribs, front and back. Really massaging it in, and use all the rub. Cover the sheet and place in the fridge for at least an hour, and up to 10 hours.
3. Light your grill and set the heat to medium low, with evenly distributed heat. When the grill is heated, add the ribs bone-side down, and close the lid.
4. Let them go for about 20 minutes, then flip them. Close the lid and reduce heat to low. Let the ribs cook another 15 minutes, then check them. Move them around a little, keeping them meat-side down, so that they get even color on the meat side. Close the lid again.
5. The ribs will need to cook for about 10 minutes more, for a total of about 45 minutes, but every grill is different. When the meat is receding from the bone and the meat is really dark and caramelized, pull them off.
6. Let the ribs rest for about 15 minutes before carving and serving.

About us
The Arts Council, the government agency for developing the arts in Ireland, is holding a plenary meeting (of its Council members) in Limerick city today Monday 4 July concluding tomorrow 5 July. The meeting gives the Council an opportunity over two days to consider important policy work in emerging areas like the creative and cultural industries, alongside regular business. This evening, Monday, a reception co-hosted by the Arts Council and Limerick City Council - its key partner in providing for and developing the arts in the city - will take place at the local authority offices. Representatives from the arts and business communities have been invited to attend the reception.
Speaking today, Ms Pat Moylan, Chairman of the Arts Council, said: "Our work with local authorities around the country is very important. It is a partnership dedicated to the strategic development of the arts at local level. Regarding Limerick City Council, the partnership we share with them is absolutely critical to advancing the arts in the city. Limerick City Council was one of the first local authorities to employ an Arts Officer back in 1988, with the support of the Arts Council, and we have since endeavoured to ensure that we work together in a complementary fashion in providing for and developing the arts in the city. We also acknowledge our partnership with Limerick County Council and its impressive programme of work in local arts development."
Ms Pat Moylan, added: "The Arts Council was pleased to mark our broader 25 year partnership with local authorities last November at our Local Arts Development Conference in the University of Limerick. The Arts Council had occasion to work again recently with both Limerick City Council and Limerick County Council, and local organisation Doras Luimní in organising an Arts and Cultural Diversity event that took place here in the city in May."
Ms Mary Cloake, Director of the Arts Council said: "The Arts Council is very aware of Limerick City Council's commitment to the arts through projects such as the Creative Limerick initiative, which has offered beneficial opportunities for the city's creative graduates and commercial property owners as well as supporting a revitalised city centre; the purchase and capital refurbishment of the Belltable Arts Centre and the impressive extension to Limerick City Gallery of Art, which is due to open later this year. Equally important is the range of work which is happening at Limerick County level, offering exciting opportunities for citizens of all ages to participate in the arts. An example of this is the award-winning County Limerick Youth Choir who have performed classical and contemporary choral music at both national and international level to very great acclaim. This range of work and activity demonstrates the belief of the local authorities here in Limerick in the potential of the arts to revitalise the city and county and ultimately enhance the quality of life of its citizens."
Ms Cloake also added: "There is an immense amount of good work being done in the arts in Limerick, and we see a deep commitment to nurture and develop the arts. We in the Arts Council look forward to continuing our work in close partnership with the local authorities to realise that commitment."

It can decode both Apple and Intel ACF/WPN formats into plain text files with a syntax similar to C, which can be edited and then re-converted into binary data. It is able to extract almost complete 3D models of aircraft (fuselage, floats, tanks, wings, stabs, propellers, engines) and write it in AC3D modeler format. Edited 3D parts can then be merged into plain text and consequently converted into binary ACF files.
A modest and easy-to-use editor with many useful features for HTML editing.

Grade: 4.5
Cutler was way off target in the first quarter, missing receivers every way possible. But he settled down after that, and a lot of his misses were on difficult throws. Best thing he did was not turn the ball over. He had a minimal impact on the game.

Matt Forte used his speed and cutting ability to avoid tacklers. His pass protection could have been better, both from a standpoint of technique and recognition. Allen sparked the offense with some nice runs, and Kahlil Bell was the finisher.
Wide receivers
Grade: 4.5
Considering Cutler threw to Marshall 15 times, he didn't get much out of him (six passes for 68 yards). Given the number of opportunities Marshall had, this was one of his worst performances of the season.
It wasn't because Peterson was getting the best of him. Marshall kept getting open, but he didn't make the plays he normally does.
Marshall should have had at least four other catches, including one that could have been a 30-yard gain in the second quarter.
Alshon Jeffery bounced back from a poor performance a week ago with a spectacular diving, over the shoulder catch for 35 yards. He also made a nice downfield block on linebacker Sam Acho to spring Forte on a 36-yard run.
Tight ends
Grade: 5
Kellen Davis caught both passes thrown his way, and the hole for Forte's 4-yard touchdown was created by Davis, who blocked Wilson, and Matt Spaeth, who blocked Acho.

Prime-Time Style1 of 14
By Zoe Schaeffer
In honor of the fall season, we're taking a look back at the greatest fashion moments in television history. From Rhoda's wacky headscarves to Ally McBeal's micromini suits, these iconic looks have influenced American fashion—as well as our very own style choices—over the years.
Hippie Chic2 of 14
In the late '60s and early '70s, Peggy Lipton played doe-eyed blonde Julie Barnes on the TV police drama The Mod Squad. Her character's appropriately mod style was both feminine and modern.
Head Start3 of 14
On The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Rhoda's signature style expressed who she was: an independent single woman and the slightly quirky, bohemian best pal to the show's star. She wore handcrafted jewelry and her printed headscarves made her a fashion trendsetter.
Bounce With Me4 of 14
It's no surprise that Farrah Fawcett became a sex symbol in the late '70s as Charlie's Angels rose to popularity. And while she's usually associated with her red swimsuit, she also created a stir by wielding a gun—while going braless.
Shorts Story5 of 14
Perhaps the most famous fashion statement in TV history was the pair of shorts worn by Daisy Duke in The Dukes of Hazzard. The denim cut-offs inspired a song in the '90s and today, the itty-bitty bottoms are still popular among teens and grown women with the bodies of teens.
More Is More6 of 14
Thanks to Nolan Miller, the Emmy Award–winning costume designer on Dynasty, sequins and sparkle, floor-length fur and serious shoulder pads became synonymous with '80s glam.
Hats Off7 of 14
While Cliff Huxtable was known for his graphic sweaters during The Cosby Show days, it was Lisa Bonet's effortless, menswear-inspired outfits (complete with her signature hat) that made a lasting fashion impression.
California Dreamin'8 of 14
Many of us took style cues from Beverly Hills 90210's Brenda Walsh and Kelly Taylor, coveting their outfits over the show's ten-year run. One of our favorites? This black-and-white bow prom dress, which inspired plenty of knockoffs in the early '90s.
Teen Spirit9 of 14
When then-unknown Claire Danes played Angela Chase in the ABC soap My So-Called Life, she made grunge-inspired flannels, Doc Martens and vintage floral prints too cool for school. The cult show only lasted one epic season, but the teen-angst look remains timeless.
Skirt the Issue10 of 14
Calista Flockhart's Ally McBeal became known for her miniskirt suits that revealed a whole lot of leg in the courtroom. In one episode, a judge reprimands McBeal for her short skirt and, as her hemlines got higher throughout the series, so did people's eyebrows -- both on and off the show.
What's in a Name?11 of 14
Carrie Bradshaw went through many a style incarnation throughout the run of Sex and the City. From voluminous miniskirts to piled-on pearls, any look Carrie sported was a fashion hit, thanks to the brilliance of costume designer Patricia Field. But it was Carrie's signature nameplate necklace, rediscovered in the series finale, that sent ladies everywhere off to their local jewelers.
Mad, Mad World12 of 14
Ever since Mad Men aired we've been on a nostalgic trip back to the early '60s by way of costume designer Janie Bryant's authentic use of bespoke suits, curve-hugging pencil skirts and floral cocktail dresses. One of our favorite looks? The black knee-length number worn by Betty in Italy. (The donut-like bun we're still iffy on.)
School Scandal13 of 14
Parents averted their eyes when Gossip Girl rose to popularity in 2007. Serena van der Woodsen's school uniform modifications, like pairing knee socks and a pleated mini with an unbuttoned shirt, were far from prim.
Period Piece14 of 14
PBS's hit drama Downton Abbey has repopularized World War I–era style, inspiring Ralph Lauren's airy florals and Karl Lagerfeld's dramatic headpieces. Susanna Buxton, the show's costume designer—who has been nominated for Outstanding Achievement in Design—doesn't miss a beat when it comes to showcasing the evolution of skirt length, which changed dramatically during the early 20th century. Stay tuned for midi- and calf-length skirts in the show's third season.

Far down a long, precipitous stairway, past many doorways and stray dogs, is the workshop of Patricia Palle—clinging to the side of the mountain with an unobstructed view of La Paz, Bolivia. Skeins of yarn in an array of rich colors occupy the back and side walls, from floor to ceiling. Extra knitting machines are collapsed under the design table for use during her high season and a small desk with neat stacks of patterns and orders is positioned against another wall.
Four mounted knitting machines are operated by Patricia and three of the women she employs, who are making the velvety alpaca sweaters she sells to Bolivians and tourists alike. Patricia, like her sweaters, is warm and inviting. With optimism and openness, she describes the journey she has taken to overcome disadvantages and realize her dream of self-sufficiency and entrepreneurial success.
"This business was just a dream five years ago," Patricia remembers. Then, she was a new mother with only one knitting machine and limited supplies. She was confident in her skills to produce beautiful, marketable products – but lacked the resources to invest in her business's growth.
Accion partner BancoSol, a microfinance bank with a long and successful history in Bolivia, proved to be the missing ingredient. BancoSol has since provided Patricia with the financial services she's needed to expand her business. With her first loan, which was equivalent to only US $200, Patricia stocked up on yarn and other sewing materials. Her next loan, for US $500, enabled her to buy another knitting machine and with it increase her production volume. Patricia was on her way.

The works included in this exhibition give the illusion of perspectival space merging with painting surface. There are sufficient similarities among them for us to be tempted to see a possible direction being taken by young Canadian painters. It is clear that the practices of several other Canadian artists, like Martin Golland or Étienne Zack, fall within an analogous aesthetic; such a relationship further strengthens the impression of a trend, an approach that is also evident on the international scene in the work of Germany's Matthias Weischer. It will be particularly interesting to see whether the aesthetic concerns common to these young Canadian painters will, over the long term, become part of the history of our country's art. The exhibition's curators, Paul Bradley and Catherine Plaisance, wager that this trend in the visual arts will have a far from passing influence.
Architectonics of Space brings together works by Julie Beugin (a Calgary native now living and working in Berlin), Leigh Bridges (originally from Edmonton, she lives and works in Winnipeg), DaveandJenn (natives of, respectively, Edmonton and Velbert, currently living and working in Calgary), Alexis Lavoie (born in Montréal, where he continues to live and work), Jessica Peters (a Saint-Jérôme native now living and working in Brownsburg-Chatham), and Ehryn Torrell (originally from Newmarket, currently living and working in London, England).

Description: Quent Jackson has followed Jason Spade's every move in business and in poker since their first day as college freshmen. Eight years later, when Jace finally decides Quent is the one man he can't live without, he sees no reason for that to change. But as much as Jace believes that poker is life, no one gave Quent the same playbook. After their first passionate night, the real game of love and trust begins, and Jace has been playing alone too long to make teaching the rules easy. Jace only speaks two languages: one of them is sex, and the other one is poker. Between the two, he needs to find a way to convince himself to take a chance on love--and Quent to take a chance on him. It's a lucky thing they're good at reading the odds, because they're playing for keeps, and this is one high-stakes relationship that's definitely worth the gamble.

... How to Deal ...
"McDonald's? Really, Jace?"
Jason Spade looked up at his business partner, old frat buddy, and best friend, trying to keep his face impassive. "I like McDonald's."
Quent Jackson was looking good today--dark hair cut to part on the side, neatly trimmed goatee framing almost ridiculously full lips. Of course, Quent looked good every day. Quent had even looked good when they were both college freshmen, rooming together, before the goatee or the expensively cut hair or the natty suits, and even before the acne had cleared up. Something about Quentin's brown eyes and open smile had always looked good to Jace. It was why he'd maneuvered their room assignments in college and asked Quent to partner with him in their day trading company. It wasn't because Quentin was a shark--he was good enough at his job, and he certainly held his own--but because Quentin was a mammal. A warm-blooded, friendly, sweet-tempered fox who could get his own dinner but who knew how to curl up in a nest.
When they'd roomed together in college, he'd always made their dorm room home.
"We usually eat sushi," Quent was saying now with a lift of his naturally skeptical eyebrow. Quent didn't seem to believe the obvious things--or the things Jace thought should be obvious--and that bothered Jace.
Right now, it was bothering him a lot.
"Sometimes," Jace grunted, not wanting to put it into words, "sometimes, french fries are better than sushi."
"So I got McDonald's for the french fries?" Again, that skeptical eyebrow.
Jace swallowed. Damn Quentin. Damn him for needing words.
"French fries are like blow jobs," he said shortly, and he had to give it to Quent. He didn't blush or anything. His eyes got big, and he paused with a ketchup-smothered fry on the way to his mouth, but he didn't blush.
But his swallow was audible. "Elaborate."
Jace scowled. "Sometimes, the meal is the burger and the french fries are a prelude, right?"
"Sometimes, you eat the fries, and they're good, but what you really want is the meat, right?"
"But sometimes...." Jace took a deep breath and then brought a crackling, crisp, salty, slick, tangy little stick of heaven to his mouth and chewed, closing his eyes and letting the fry slide down his gullet, almost shuddering in ecstasy. "Sometimes, the fry alone is all you need. It's the whole meal, first course, last course, beginning to end. Sometimes, the french fry is all you need and all you ever fucking want."
Quent grinned at him, looking pleased by the analogy. "Well, Jace, I'll think about that the next time I'm getting a blow job!"
Jace tried not to sigh.
Quentin grinned. He liked the idea. But he didn't blush.
"Well, it's not going happen tonight," Jace said, the thought almost consoling him. "Tonight, we've got racquetball."
Quent rolled his eyes. "Another chance for you to kick my ass in something. Fabulous."
"I do my best."
Yup. Jace was going to have to wait for the blush.

EUGene allows you to manipulate and generate models. It can read UML class models in XMI independent from modeling, generate templates, transform models, and integrate in project building. It features independence in developer code and generated code. EUGene is independent from development tools. EUGene is easy to use and to put into place.
The JET Code Generator connects to any JDBC-based database and exports the schema as an XML-formatted file, and then generates code based on XSL Transformations. The user is free to write/modify XSLTs to generate virtually any type of source code from the XML representing your database schema. A complete example is included with a database, support classes, XSL Transformations, and build scripts (ANT and batch).
gtklean is a C header file generated directly from the GTK+ headers to provide a visually cleaner and less error prone C API for GTK+. It eliminates gtk_ prefixes in front of every GTK+ function. It automatically inserts calls to the type checking and casting macros for arguments that require them (e.g. GTK_WIDGET() and GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC()) so you can't forget them and never need to see them. It also replaces the string literals used for signal names with C identifiers to replace run time errors with compile time errors.
Kelly is a JBuilder 4 & 5 plugin that makes it easy to deploy EJBs to JOnAS 2.x. Kelly can be installed and run with other JBuilder 4 & 5 plugins such as BEA WebLogicServer 5.1, BEA WLS 6, IBM WebSphere 3.5, Borland AS 4.5, etc. Kelly provides services to Jbuilder 4 & 5 java developers such as the ability to create any XML deployment files required by JOnAS 2.x, hot loading and unloading of any EJBs to JOnAS (only for JBuilder 5), control of JOnAS start-up from JBuilder 4 & 5, and the supply of JOnAS word dictionaries to JBuilder 4 & 5 in order to enhance the JBuilder 4 & 5 text completion services.
OpenC++ is a source code translation tool for C++. Programmers can easily implement various kinds of translation so that they can define new syntax, new annotation, and new object behavior. OpenC++ is useful if they need to, for example, develop extensions to C++, add domain-, application-, or class-specific compiler optimizations, or build their own version of (runtime) MOP for C++.

Fuels and Transportation Division
- 2013-2014 Investment Plan for the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program (Docket Number: 12-ALT-02)
- 2014-2015 Investment Plan Proceeding (Docket Number: 13-ALT-02)
Perhaps no other population in the world has embraced the automobile as passionately, nor is any other state defined as much by the car, as California. There are over 26 million cars and 1 million trucks on California roads and highways. Roughly half of the energy Californians consume is for transportation.
In 2010, Californians consumed over 18 billion gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel, resulting in the estimated emission of over 200 million metric tons of greenhouse gas equivalence. According to the latest inventory of statewide greenhouse gas emissions values, in 2009 the transportation sector represented 38 percent of statewide greenhouse gas emissions.
Reducing the rolling resistance of tires can lead to substantial improvements in vehicle fuel economy. In 2003, a consumer bill AB 844, directed the California Energy Commission to develop and implement a Fuel-Efficient Tire Program that included standards for tires on passenger vehicles and light duty trucks.
The Energy Commission is concerned with the impact transportation fuels have on our state. The Fuels and Transportation Division was created to focus on transportation energy and alternatives to conventional fossil fuels. The Division's mission is to ensure that adequate and reliable transportation energy is provided to the California transportation sector while balancing economic, public health, safety, and environmental consequences.
The division is organized into two technical offices; Emerging Fuels and Technologies Office and Transportation Energy Office.
Division Director
Randy Roesser, Deputy Director
Emerging Fuels & Technology Office
The Emerging Fuels & Technologies Office assesses and demonstrates the market potential of new transportation technologies and fuels, encourages the widespread use of low-emission alternative fuels in emerging technologies, and evaluates the development risks of and opportunities for using alternative fuels in transportation applications. The primary work of the Emerging Fuels and Technologies Office is to administer and implement the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology (ARFVT) Program.
Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology (ARFVT) Program
Assembly Bill 118 (Nunez, Chapter 750, Statues of 2007) created the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program (ARFVTP), which creates an annual $100 million public investment fund to promote development and deployment of advanced technology, low carbon fuels and vehicles that will help the state achieve its greenhouse gas reduction goals. Alternative fuels supported by ARFVTP include electricity, hydrogen, biofuels, natural gas and renewable natural gas, plus the fueling infrastructure needed to deliver these new fuels to California consumers. Alternative technology vehicles supported by ARFVTP include: electric drive cars, shuttles and trucks; hydrogen fuel cell cars, trucks and buses; natural gas trucks, buses and cars; as well as trucks and cars that can use biofuels such as ethanol and biodiesel. ARFVTP provides funding support for workforce training and development in order to prepare the next generation of mechanics and technicians to support new technology vehicles and fuels.
The Energy Commission is tasked with administration and implementation of the program. Five major program elements include an Investment Plan, Solicitations, Award Selection, Grant Development, and Grant Project Management. Each year's Investment Plan is publicly discussed with a 25-member advisory committee of outside technical and policy experts. In addition to grant development and project management activities, staff in this office ensure project compliance under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), prepare Localized Health Impacts Reports for all projects with the potential to adversely affect public health, host legislatively required Advisory Committee meetings and public workshops to solicit stakeholder and public input.
Programs in this office contribute to statewide electric vehicle readiness efforts through participation in the Governor's Office Zero-emission Vehicle (ZEV) Task Force, Plug-in Electric Vehicle (PEV) Collaborative and California Public Utilities Commission proceedings. They contribute to statewide fuel cell vehicle and fueling infrastructure readiness and deployment through participation in the Fuel Cell Partnership. Staff works to develop sustainability standards through participation in Interagency Forestry Working Group, Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) Sustainability Working Group, and Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels.
This office supports economic development and manufacturing growth in California through participation in the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development and the California Advanced Energy and Alternative Transportation Financing Authority, in addition to other workforce development activities associated with ARFVTP funding.

Transportation Energy Office
The Transportation Energy Office serves the citizens of California by gathering, analyzing, and interpreting data provided by the petroleum industry. The office is currently involved in the most pertinent and visible energy issues taking place in the state of California. The staff in the office is very active; aiding and educating citizens with current fuel price and supply information, as well as providing reports, testimony, presentations, data, and support to the Governor's office, state and federal agencies, cities, counties, community colleges, universities, bureaus, and the public at large.
This office performs analytical activities. Topics analyzed are developed through legislative mandates, research, or in response to issues related to transportation fuels, supply, price, and demand. The office publishes a 20-year transportation fuel supply and demand forecast biennially as part of the Integrated Energy Policy Report.
In the event of an emergency, fuel may need to be directed to emergency support functions such as police, fire, or ambulance services. In such an event, this office will coordinate the state's Emergency Fuel Allocation Program, where fuel is quickly delivered to needed areas. The office also maintains the California Energy Shortage Contingency Plan to respond to any emergency or disaster, ensuring adequate supplies of energy for public health, safety, and welfare.
